Vacation – Day 4

What a day! We took off early to hike Diamond Head. Sary-Jo and I have talked about this hike since we first starting going to Oahu and now we’ve finally done it. It was a very windy, but beautiful, day. There were quite a few people but we found parking right away and headed up the trail. Naturally, Daniel & David wanted to press a little harder than the old folks so we sent them on ahead. Once they reached the top, they (mainly Daniel) decided to just run up and down the stairs while we made our way up there. Janel and Ryan also went ahead of us a bit, but we enjoyed the scenery all the way. After the hike, the boys found some great trees to climb.

After the hike (and breakfast), we went to Kailua Beach, which Ryan knew of. It was beautiful (we’ve yet to find an ugly Hawaiian beach but I suppose it’s theoretically possible) and the kids (all four of them) had a great time in the water.
